This is the brother of Klub Kevlar's Edgar Phipps Shell OW79 Yamaha TT bike. Eds bike was ridden by Eddie Lawson and this bike by Wayne Rainey and others. If I had a lazy 25k it'd be already on its way here as genuine works bikes with this bikes history don't come this cheap very often.

Here's the bike in Shell Thuett colours, the same as Phippsy's. The old bloke is Shell Thuett himself, the man who did more to turn the humble XS650 engine into a racer than anyone else.
